Webster's Bold Plan for Two Berths Aboard a Central American Steamer
John S Webster travels from Valley California toward Buenaventura via New Orleans and San Buena Ventura. He schemes to secure both berths in a single stateroom for himself and a mysterious companion, leveraging a finance scheme and a note of danger as he eyes the voyage and potential contact with Dolores Ruey and other figures. The ticket clerk hints the berth may be canceled if not claimed, leaving Webster hopeful for a private cabin and a swift departure on the steamship.
